Key Features

  • 34-position dual-row surface-mount layout on ultra-fine 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch for high-density board interconnects
  • Beryllium copper contacts with 10 µin gold over 50 µin nickel mating finish for low-resistance, high-cycle durability
  • Polarized socket housing prevents reverse mating on fine-pitch arrays, reducing assembly defects in automated SMT lines
  • Matte tin over nickel barrier termination finish ensures reliable soldering to standard reflow profiles

Applications

The SFM-117-02-L-D-DS is engineered for high-density board-to-board and mezzanine applications in telecommunications, embedded computing, and test instrumentation where the 0.050 inch pitch maximizes connector density per unit area. Its beryllium copper contacts and gold mating finish support thousands of mating cycles, making it ideal for removable daughter card and FPGA module sockets. The polarized surface-mount housing integrates seamlessly into automated SMT assembly processes, lowering production costs for high-volume industrial electronics.

Frequently Asked Questions

What contact material and plating does SFM-117-02-L-D-DS use, and how many mating cycles can it reliably support?

The SFM-117-02-L-D-DS uses beryllium copper contacts plated with 10 µin (0.25 µm) gold over 50 µin (1.27 µm) nickel on the mating surface. This combination provides low contact resistance typically below 20 milliohms and is rated for hundreds to thousands of mating cycles, making it appropriate for removable module sockets in test fixtures and field-replaceable embedded computing boards.

For a high-density FPGA daughter card, how many signal lines can this 34-position dual-row connector carry?

With 34 total positions in a dual-row configuration, the SFM-117-02-L-D-DS provides 17 contacts per row on a 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch, supporting up to 34 independent signal or power lines per connector. Designers can carry multiple high-speed differential pairs at data rates up to several Gbps alongside 3.3 V or 5 V power rails, all within the compact SMT footprint suited to compact FPGA module edge connections.

When should an engineer select SFM-117-02-L-D-DS over a wider-pitch 0.100 inch socket strip?

The 0.050 inch pitch of the SFM-117-02-L-D-DS occupies roughly half the PCB area of an equivalent 0.100 inch connector, a critical advantage when board real estate is constrained in portable instruments, telecommunications blades, or compact embedded systems. Its surface-mount termination also eliminates through-hole drilling, reducing board manufacturing cost by up to 30% in dense multilayer designs where drill registration becomes a yield concern.
